Video output is HDMI only, and can go up to 1080p unlike Apple TV, which only does 720p. TV markets: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. It brings the social media system Boxee together with some stylish hardware from D-Link to produce a set-top box that pipes movies, music and apps to your TV in magnificent style. One side has a Boxee logo that lights up when it’s running, while the other has an SD card slot, and the rear panel carries the ports. DVR subscribers are slugged US$14.99 a month, with the initial launch restricted to the top eight U.S.

Naturally, the “no limits” cloud recording functionality isn’t free. Plug in the Boxee Box, connect it to your TV, look for your wireless network, punch in your network password which is made easier by the remote control, and you’re off. The Boxee TV also lets a tablet or smartphone be used as a remote control or program guide. Not only does this mean you’ll never have to worry about choosing between Here Comes Honey Boo Boo or Two and a Half Men to claim that last bit of remaining space on a hard drive, but you’ll also be able to pull down the recorded shows to a variety of devices, such as a laptop, tablet smartphone, or TV. Boxee will even throw in a free digital antenna for those in good reception areas.Įnsuring users will never run out of space to record, well, anything, the Boxee TV uploads recorded programs to the cloud. With two tuners for tuning into broadcast HD channels, such as ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS and Univision, along with support for unencrypted basic cable, users are able to watch one channel while recording another. While the Boxee TV still boasts internet TV and music streaming capabilities, with Netflix, VUDU, YouTube, Vimeo and Pandora apps coming preinstalled (and more promised), the unit is more focused on live TV. A tipster has sent The Verge pics of a new set-top box, still built by D-Link, that ditches the original's angular design for a more conventional shape and integrates live TV tuning support as. Instead, the Boxee TV uploads recordings to the cloud, making the device “the first ever No Limits DVR.” Although the device is primarily a DVR for recording live TV, it comes without any onboard storage at all.

I now need a similar solution for the lounge. The jailbroken Apple TV2 upstairs can stream all the movies. In fact, the Boxee TV’s primary focus is now live TV and its revamped user interface and simplified remote is designed to appeal to a wider audience than the Linux-based Boxee Box. Ive got a PS3 upstairs as well as downstairs, but it plays only a few movies & does not recognise the rest. Boxee’s latest set-top box retains its predecessor’s internet TV–streaming roots, but adds live TV and DVR capabilities to the mix.
